  • Help define engineering best practices and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.

Ideal Candidate Background

  • Strong foundational software engineering skills with experience building complex, production-grade systems.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with a high degree of ownership.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both engineering and research stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Experience working on simulation platforms, game engines, or physics-based environments.
  • Background in reinforcement learning infrastructure or agent training pipelines.
  • Prior experience at an early-stage company or in a founding engineering role.
  • Familiarity with enterprise software requirements and working with research lab partners.
